This weekend marks the 25th anniversary of Smashing Pumpkins’ third album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, and the band is celebrating in a big way.
To start, the Billy Corgan-led outfit has confirmed a 33-song (!) sequel concept album to Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and 2000’s Machina, which is due for release in late 2021.
The album’s release will coincide with a Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness world arena tour. The band had originally intended to announce the tour’s specifics today, but because of the pandemic, those plans have been shifted to next year.
